I can't believe Labor Day has come & gone already. I guess summer is officially over! The kids went to visit my parents for part of the long weekend. Nana & Papa took them to the circus, to a Wizard of Oz display at a park, to Palisades Park to look at the cliffs, on a starlight walk & many other things. The kids LOVED every minute of being with Nana & Papa. Scott & I enjoyed dinner out both Friday & Saturday night. Not once did we hear "Mom or Dad". It was nice! It was also nice to get the kids back on Sunday morning, I missed them a ton.
We bought new appliances for our kitchen today. We've been talking about it for over a year & finally just did it. They are all stainless steel & gorgeous. My stove has 2 ovens & my new fridge has a bottom drawer freezer. All will arrive mid-month. Now we have to pick out a new paint color & new granite counter tops. Merry Christmas to us!
I just got all of our Fall activity schedules figured out...our weeks will look something like this:
Monday: dance & football practice
Tuesday: soccer practice (both kids)
Wednesday: religion class
Thursday: soccer (Allie), football practice Jake
Friday: soccer practice (Jake)
Saturday: football game & soccer game
This doesn't include the Sunday or Thursday football games or Jake's 2 Scout meetings each month or Allie's 1 Brownie meeting per month. This also doesn't include my volunteering, subbing or meetings. This also doesn't include doc/dentist appts. for the kids or any parties that they have. As I looked over our calendar, we don't have a single Saturday free until mid-December! Basketball for both kids starts right as soccer/football ends.
This week brings the usual soccer & football practices. I sub 2 days this week & have a carnival meeting. I'm also supposed to volunteer at school. Allie has a b-day party on Saturday. Jake has a football game, soccer pictures and a Scout meeting this weekend. Allie has a doctor appt. for her planter's warts on her foot, again! Whew!
